Carl Froch Vs Arthur Abraham Set For October 2nd in Monaco

why not ?? there is only 2 hours between Marseille and Monaco ...

Anyway, we will see :thumbsup

 

Aren't the British and French natural enemies, or do I base too much of my view of cultural relations on Monty Python? :think

 

My initial prediction for this fight was that Abraham would bounce Froch off the canvas, but having seen a little more of each guy, I'm finding it harder to call. Froch has the range and power to keep Abraham in his shell and the odd angles from which he attacks might mean he can punch around/through King Arthur's guard.

That said, I think Dirrell was able to avoid heavy counters by keeping Abraham on the end of quick combinations and using his reflexes to get out of the way. Abraham would have far more opportunities to counter Froch, who doesn't put string his punches together as smoothly as Dirrell and sure as hell doesn't move as fast.

 

best win a lucky 15 sometime soon then

 

i think that froch will start this time slower and more defense orientated, he knows about abrahams power, and he was knocked down by taylor, so froch will try to box, but because of his warrior spirit he will engage after a couple of rounds and this will be his end. i'm going for a clean one punch knockout by arthur abraham somewhere between round 4 and 8

 

After the French-Indian war George Washington applied for a commision in the British Army. They turned him down because he was "a colonial hype-job." Damn Brits never could judge fighting men:nono

 

Kelly Pavlik got his ASS KICKED by Sergio Martinez. :happy

 

+2 points for AA. This fight puts AA back in the lead and I think Green will be tied up with Froch after his knocks out of Kessler.

 

AA by destructive KO unless Carl pulls his best Dirrell.

 

I'm sticking with Froch for this one. Certainly the most intriguing fight of round 3.

 

I think Froch will try to end the fight before AA wakes up.

 

Abraham aint getting stopped. Froch has power but not enough to crack abes chin and hasnt got the accuracy to land anything meaningfull. Abraham to start off slow as usual and to beat seven shades of holy **** out of froch in the later rounds

 

Froch by UD

 

AA by late KO.
